Everyone is an individual - so liking to swim is a personal preference. However Boxers have a very difficult time swimming. They do not carry a lot of body fat like labs (boyant dogs) and they have most of their muscle mass in the front 1/2 of their body so they they have to work hard to keep a float. Watching a boxer try to swim is often like watching someone who is trying hard not to drown.

Most of them do. They are considered "Labradors of the working group."
Mine hasn't let had the opportunity to actually swim, but she's been in stomach-deep water and it didn't phase her at all. In fact, after galloping around in it and splashing everyone, she plopped down in it.
My Boxer also loves the water hose. She'll run up to it and try to bite (or drink, who knows) the water spraying out.

Boxers generally enjoy swimming, but you may want to invest in a doggie life vest to help keep them afloat.

Ours didn't, she just didn't like going into the water if it was deeper than her stomach.
